Some things are close - cerca. Others are far - lejos. With sweet simplicity, this charming dual-language board book and its companion volume, Cerca/Close, engage young children.

El árbol de limones está lejos de mi casa. The lemon tree is far from my house. The little boy’s house is far from the city, and the city is far from the ocean. What about the mountains in the distance, or the clouds in the sky, or the sun that shines over the boy as he walks?

Book Features:

A moving look at distance and closeness from a former Poet Laureate.

Elegant, bilingual text and art are inclusive.

Simple concept board books suitable for all toddlers.
